I am a 54 year old with Stage 3a Lobular breast cancer. Chemo has just ended and radiation to begin early May. Would love to chat with anyone of similar symptoms.

    Hi, I did not have chemo, but I did have rads and was very lucky. If you are a brunette, not a red head or a blonde, you may not have much trouble. I worked every day and just took off at 2:30pm for treatment and then home. I was fine, just tired. I did not have any burning, but some do, and the gals on the sites can help you with their suggestions for lotions, etc. I just got a very brown breast and one pink one, but now, 3 years later, they are the same color again. Rads for me, anyway, was really nothing. God bless you and speed you onto good health! Dear sister, Shirlann

    Tommie - You are responding to a post from several years ago. (The date of the post is in the upper right corner). Lets both spend a moment thinking happy thoughts for the poster. That she is in the middle of a fabulous post treatment life! In the meantime, if you want to ask questions or get some support, or just be, please post again, anytime, on this site.
